Chore Charts Are for Kids. This Is for Partners.

Let's be honest, the idea of a "chore chart" in a grown-up relationship is a little… cringe. It brings back memories of being grounded for not taking out the trash. But the problem it's trying to solve is real: how do you split up the endless tasks of running a home without turning it into a constant negotiation?

Forget the chart. Think of it as a system. A shared brain for your household. In Couple Tools, you can create shared lists for everything from "stuff to buy at Target" to "things we need to do before the in-laws visit." You can assign tasks, set due dates, and see what's been done. It's not about keeping score; it's about clarity.

When everything is out of your heads and in one shared space, the conversation changes. It's no longer "did you remember to…?" but "what's next on the list?" It's a system built for equals, designed to reduce friction, not create it. So you can spend less time managing chores and more time enjoying the home you've built together.
